Sheriff: Community tips, recent clues could help cold case investigations

More than three decades ago, the body of an African-American woman was found in the Leland area, according to Brunswick County Sheriff’s Office Spokeswoman Emily Flax. Hunters found her in the woods about 2,000 feet from what is now Hooper Road in Leland, near the Hooper Hill Section, on Dec. 8, 1979.

“Her cause of death could not be determined. And to this day, she has not been reported missing,” Flax said.

Detectives believe the Jane Doe was between 42 and 55 at the time of her death. She was about 5 feet 4 inches tall, but her weight could not be calculated. The woman was found with a tan sweater, red scuffs over knee-high stockings and black slacks or pajama pants, Flax said. She wore a gold Timex “Snoopy” watch with a yellow band on her left wrist.
